Statement: Efficiency with Impact
The chemical distribution outlook report by Boston Consulting Group, outlined on the previous pages, presents six key findings that capture the strategic pressures and capability shifts transforming the chemical disgtribution landscape, setting the stage for four imperatives that will help distributors to win amid uncertainty. Madjar Navah, one of the authors of the report, introduced the most significant results of the study at the FECC Annual Meeting in Hamburg, Germany, in mid-September. Among the audience were executives of the largest chemical distribution companies, some of which we asked to share their opinions on the report’s conclusions with us.
The four imperatives mirror the path we’ve already chosen. At Nordmann, resilience is built into our DNA - our global network with 24 strong regional footprints serving almost all industries have proven a strategic advantage even and especially in volatile times and markets.
Equally important is efficiency with impact. Cutting cost to serve must go hand in hand with smart investments. Our strategic MoVE program is the foundation of our digital strategy. By integrating advanced digital platforms, data analytics, and AI-powered tools, we will empower our teams to deliver greater efficiency, and smarter solutions for our principals and customers.
Nordmann’s strength lies in value creation beyond pure distribution, embodied in our slogan “Knowledge in Action.” From application know-how, regulatory support, sustainable solutions to data-driven insights, we deliver solutions that make our partners more competitive.

“Cutting cost to serve must go hand in hand with smart investments.”
